NIT Srinagar website blocked after it is hacked

Authorities on Tuesday blocked the website of the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Srinagar after it was hacked by a group that posted anti-India slogans on it.

The hackers identified themselves as "SH 11 Team Pak Cyber Skullz".

"Do you know why you got hacked? Free Kashmir....Freedom is our goal," the hackers posted.

Hackers had taken over the site in the aftermath of India's victory over Pakistan in the ICC Champions Trophy in Edgbaston on Sunday evening.

Immediately after Pakistan lost the cricket match, hackers had taken over the website and posted hate messages -- "Go Modi go", "All we ask is for freedom, you can kill us, you can't kill us all, we shall not give up", "Free Kashmir. Freedom is our goal", and other inflammatory posts.

Top sources here told IANS, "After the site was hacked, the website has been blocked and its retrieval is in progress now."

NIT Srinagar has engineering students from all over the country.
